Chapter 76
After a long lunch Michelle and I seem to have a lot in common even if she is only seventeen. “so are you going to rescind the rejection?” stopping me in my tracks looking over at her “I have to. I don’t have a choice even if I want to. Once I cant kill the alpha your mate would hunt me down and make my life long and miserable. Then the witch told me my wolf already accepts the bond so I can't refuse it so kinda don’t have a choice.” huffing out annoyed that once again I don’t get a choice in things.
“but do you really want to reject the alpha?” she asks raising a brow I open my mouth to answer but she stops me “no really think about the alpha and if you want to give him up then answer. We have the time it seems cause there is no way out of here.” she waves her hands around. Nodding I sit back and start to really think about what I want. I have always wanted my mate so what's so different now. Yes, I thought Jacob was my mate but he's not. I was so ready to accept a fake mate why am I having such a hard time accepting my real mate?
“you know if you accept the alpha no one can make you do anything again right?” looking at her confused hoping she would say more but she just gets up and walks around the room leaving me to stew in my own thoughts. And it all boils down to I don’t want to be owned and ordered around anymore I want to stand on my own feet. But I feel deep down that my place is next to him and the way he makes me feel. Sighing out laying my head on the table in defeat. “guess well I know I want my mate I just don’t want to be property” “didn’t you just tell me that Tyler is not like that? So if Tyler is a good guy why wouldn't the alpha? Did they not grow up together to work as one?” she not once looked back at me just kept looking at the trophies. “but Tyler is a beta and Philip is an alpha. They are not the same.” “no, your right 'cause well Tyler is mine.” she starts laughing bending over and clutching her sides. Okay so it was funny and she was cute but don’t tell her that “sorry anyways, of course, they are different people but you said it your self Tyler is a good guy. Then you said if you kept the rejection and he died Tyler would hunt you down and make your life hell. don’t you think he has to be a good guy to have that much loyalty? Besides what happened to his family is sad.” thinking back on the talk I had with Tyler about Philip's past.
“wait how do you know about his past if you're from a different pack?” “oh ya, the story been talked about at the pack for so long I just assumed everyone knew. I do think that's why if the rogue king sends men to the pack the alpha just gave them what they wanted.” she shrugs “who is the rogue king?” “your guess is as good as mine I ain't never meet him or wouldn't it be funny if the rogue king is actually a she-wolf?” the pure excitement that covers her face has me intrigued. “what do you mean?” “oh think about it how many alphas are men? Like all of them so what if they can't figure out who the rogue king is because it's a badass don’t take any ones to shit she-wolf? I would back her up maybe even join up and stick it to the men. I am so tired of being second class to them and forced to do things because they say so. What about us huh what about our feeling don’t we matter? Oh sure to give them heirs but that's not what I mean. Who says the men are the rulers why couldn’t it be she-wolves huh?” she punches the wall. And immediately starts yelping out in pain. Grabbing a napkin I go in the rest room wet it down with cold water coming back out to her. Taking her hand and wrapping it “maybe I should be asking if you are okay?” “no I am trying but I have no one anymore I have lost everything.” she cries out folding in on herself.
“I get it I do. When this is all over I promise to help you try and find Michael. I know it's not much but well it will give you some closer maybe. I know they have a good medical team here I overheard them so maybe they have councilors or something.” “ya I was a little shocked when I entered the alphas office to find my doctor is the alpha.” “wait what?” “the alpha he is the doctor that looked over me in the clinic.” “for real I mean I thought Tyler was just trying to make me feel for him but for real he's a doctor?” “your odd you know that?” she laughs at me. So this stupid alpha really does have his packs interest as his core being. Groaning I get up storming to the bed. “if the witch comes back to ask for a cot or bed. My wolf is on edge with your scent mixing with the alpha's scent.” “oh okay umm what's there to do now that I’m full?” “sleep or shower think but no paper pens or computer so good luck there I couldn’t even find a dirty magazine. This alpha is boring but snoop all you want I need a nap my brain hurts.” I hear her snicker at my rant but I just shrug it off. She's young and needs to be young so I will let her be young for as long as I can.
